ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) as the early diagnostic biomarker of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEAMI).Methods Sixty-five patients with STEAMI and 30 patients with stable coranary heart disease or other heart disease(control group) were enrolled as our subjects.Serum sLOX-1 levels were measured.Results The median(P25,P75) of Serum sLOX-1 in the patients with STEMI were 210.0 (130.0,356.0) ng/L,significantly higher than that of control group(65.5 (55.2,85.2) ng/L,Z =6.17,P ＜ 0.001).Logistic regression analysis revealed that sLOX-1 alone was an independent factor associated with STEAMI (B =0.036,P ＜ 0.001).The area under the ROC curve of sLOX-1 for detecting STEMI was 0.895,and 95％ CI was 0.831-0.959 (P＜0.001).Taking sLOX-1 =87.5 ng/L as cut-off value,the sensitivity was 89.6％ and specificity was 82.4％for the diagnosis of STEAMI.Conclusion Serum sLOX-1 was significantly higher in the STEAMI and it might served as the early diagnostic marker for STEAMI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficiency and safety of fondaparinux and low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) on the elder patients with non-ST-segnent elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).Methods One hundred and forty patients over 75 years old with NSTE-ACS were randomly divided into treatment group(n =70) and control group (n =70).Patients in treatment group were given the conventional treatment combined with fondaparinux,and in control group were given the basis of conventional treatment combined with LMWH.The therapeutic efficacy,the cardiovascular events at 4 d,7 d and 30 d during the treatment and bleeding incidence rate were observed.Reslts There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment group and control group in the total effective rate (x2 =0.475,P ＞ 0.05.Meanwhile,no significant differences were found between the two groups in cardiovascular events at 4 d,7 d and 30 d (x2 =0.257,0.475 and 0.317,P ＞0.05).The incidence rate of bleeding in treatment group was obviously lower than that in control group and there was statistically significant difference (2.9％ vs.31.4％ ; x2 =20.115,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The effectiveness of fondaparinux used in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes is similar with LMWH,but the incidence rate of bleeding is lower than LMWH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the short-term prognostic value of glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) and admission plasma glucose in non-diabetic patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.Methods Eighty-four non-diabetic patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction from January 2010 to June 2011 were included.Both HbA1c and plasma glucose was measured on admission.Cardiovascular event was followed up in 30 days.Results The average of HbA1c and admission plasma glucose was as cut-off point.The patients were divided into HbA1c ＜ 5.5％ group (40 cases) and HbA1c ≥5.5％ group (44 cases) according to HbA1c level.The patients were divided into admission plasma glucose ≤ 8.6 mmol/L group (42 cases) and admission plasma glucose ＞ 8.6 mmol/L group (42 cases) according to admission plasma glucose.The incidence of cardiovascular event in 30 days in admission plasma glucose ＞ 8.6 mmol/L group was higher than that in admission plasma glucose ≤ 8.6 mmol/L group [19.0％ (8/42) vs.2.4％ (1/42)],and there was significant difference(P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of cardiovascular event in 30 days between HbA1c ≥5.5％ group and HbA1c ＜ 5.5％ group (P ＞ 0.05).Admission plasma glucose showed weak correlation with blood creatine kinase isoenzyme MB peak (r =0.233,P ＜0.05).Conclusion In non-diabetic patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction,elevated admission plasma glucose levels are associated with higher cardiovascular event in 30 days.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Methods Forty-three patients with diastolic heart failure were enrolled. Pulsed wave (PW) Doppler technology was used to detect early diastolic mitral velocity (E) and TDI was performed to determine the mitral annulus velocity of early diastolic phase (Em). According to the E/Em, patients were divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (E/Em ＜8),group Ⅱ (E/Em 8-15) and group Ⅲ (E/Em ＞ 15). The plasma NT-proBNP was measured. Results The plasma NT-proBNP in group Ⅲ [( 1119 ± 3123) ng/L] was higher than that in group Ⅱ [(684± 1742) ng/L] and group Ⅰ [(276±438) ng/L] (P＜0.01),and the plasma NT-proBNP in group Ⅱ was higher than that in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01 ). The plasma NT-proBNP had positive correlation with E/Em (r = 0.438,P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion The plasma NT-proBNP and TDI are useful to evaluate the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
ABSTRACT
The abutting joint for XCY2002-1/200 field battle X-ray diagnosis vehicle and WCY2002-2/40 field battle operation vehicle are expounded. The methods and the process of their expansion are studied from regional reconnaissance,vehicle orientation,personnel or work distribution,operational order or skill and so on. The effect is good and quick,and the experience procedure is accumulated,which problems and corresponding improvement are put forward. The effectiveness is used for emergency operation of the serious wounded in frontier,and is expected to serve as reference for enhancing medical treatment efficiency and quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a simple new-type photographic device for the field battle and peace time,because of the function of the trivet of X-Ray machine is limited.Methods Circular chrome-plating seamless steel tubes,whose diameter is 4 cm and 5 cm respectively,were connected so as to constitute the arm structure in C shape and foundation in T shape.Results The simple new-type photographic device could project for patients in each kind of body posture and the range of focus adjustment could meet normal requirements.It was operated nimbly and freely.The material was durable and the structure was reasonable and stable.Conclusion The simple new-type photographic device meets the practical requirements in field battle and peace time.
